| In ye old mutating cadence tradition, I remember it thusly:
"Roof sprung a leak in the ceiling up above my bed,
(drip drop, drippity drop)
Roof sprung a leak in the ceiling up above my bed,
(drip drop, drippity drop)
I don't know but I think I'm soon gonna be dead.
(drip drop, drippity drop)
Baby she's cheatin, can't believe a word she said
(drip drop, drippity drop)
Baby she's cheatin, can't believe a word she said
(drip drop, drippity drop)
I dunno but I think my eyes will be turnin' red.
(drip drop, drippity drop)
Jody I'm a comin', fillin' you full of lead
(drip drop, drippity drop)
Jody I'm a comin', fillin' you full of lead
(drip drop, drippity drop)
Two to the body and another one to the head.
(drip drop, drippity drop)
Alternate gender from "she" to "he" and you had something like the version we sang. Ok, so the version we got in trouble for singing. (We got in trouble a LOT.) |
